Definitions
- NLCD nematic liquid ciystal displays
- the elongated molecules possess a dielectric anisotropy, hence are easily realigned along the external field.
- the mean molecular alignment is described by a vector n , the director, which represents the average orientation of molecules long axes. If no field is applied, the nematic assumes a stable configuration corresponding to the minimum of its elastic free energy.
- the electric field drives then the liquid crystal into a high energy texture.
- the nematic orientation at the surface is fixed and when the field is switched off the nematic relaxes visco-elastically back to the initial equilibrium configuration.
- the system is monostable, because it always relaxes towards the same energy state in absence of external excitation.
- the anchoring at the surface is strong (ideally infinite) and the texture changes are monostable.
- Bistability or multistability are essential for displays; it means that two or more states are stable in absence of applied field.
- This property allows an infinite multiplexing of passive matrix displays. It suppresses the need of refreshing permanent pictures, it decreases the consumption for quasi-permanent pictures by allowing a refreshment rate comparable with the frame rate and it suppresses the blinking, due to the contrast decrease of relaxing textures in monostable devices.
- bistable pixel It is possible to obtain NLCD with pixel having bistable or multisable texture without any additional electronic devices.
- An ideal bistable pixel should present two equilibrium states separated by an energy barrier. The barrier height should prevent the spontaneous transition among states, but it should allow to an external field to control the transitions.
- the Berreman-Heffner display belongs to the general case of switching of bistable textures with strong anchoring conditions at the surface.
- the transition are among textures separated by a 2 ⁇ n twist, n integer.
- the problem of this technology is to realize reproducible weak anchoring in wide temperature range in order to obtain anchoring bifurcation at reasonable low fields.
- bistable devices use special morphology of confining surfaces which gives rise to controlled defects creation and annihilation, the geometry used is usually a hybrid cell, i.e. a homeotropic plate and a planar one.
- the BORN can be achieved using a strong electric field. See for example Fig. Ia: Q is locally directed along x and can be "reconstructed" along E , axis ⁇ (Fig. Ib), without any director rotation but with a continuous deformation of the ellipsoid shape which is represented by Q , passing through from an horizontal elongated shape (Fig. Ia) to a vertical elongated one (Fig. Ib). This deformation is obtained by electric coupling of molecules along the direction of the field and appeai-s overcoming a threshold E th .
- the nematic order reconstruction cannot be explained by a simple description at S constant, like Freedericksz transition.
- the Landau-de Gennes description is required with the order tensor formalism Q .
- Q eigenvectors give the preferred molecular orientation and their eigenvalues ⁇ ⁇ , ⁇ 2 , ⁇ 3j the corresponding degree of order in that direction. When the material is in the isotropic phase, all eigenvalues are zero, no preferred orientation exists. If the nematic has a uniaxial calamitic state, one privileged axis exists and its eigenvalue (for example ⁇ ⁇ ) is maximum and defines the phase order parameter. If a nematic has a biaxial phase all eigenvalues are different.
- nematic equilibrium state isotropic or uniaxial, depending on the temperature. Biaxial domains have been forecast and observed near defects or in nanoconfined systems. There are also discotic nematic (intrinsically biaxial) [12,13] which possess a stable biaxial phase but we will not discuss this subject in details.
- F d is the elastic energy density and well describe the energy cost of spatial variation of O .
- F s is the surface energy due to the interaction between liquid crystal and surfaces. In our case we suppose the interaction strong, i.e. infinite anchoring energy.
- ⁇ B is of the order of few nanometers.
- the electric coherence length equates the biaxial coherence length: ⁇ E ⁇ ⁇ B . li b decreases, keeping constant the scalar order parameter, ⁇ B increases and the threshold decreases.
- Fig. 4 shows the threshold variation as a function of b at constant S eq calculated by numerical method based upon Landau De Gennes model. It is evident that E lh can be reduced to a few
- Discotics materials i.e. molecular materials which presents discotic phases. Oligomers with low molecular weight. In order to be soluble in nematics, these materials should be made of monomers with high polarizability without intrinsic nematic phase or nematics linked to a main chain (main chain polymers). Stabilized nanostructures with possibly a large electrical or magnetic biaxial susceptibility.
- Fig.2a shows a slightly splayed texture.
- Fig.2b shows a quasi ⁇ -bend texture. They are topologically non equivalent: it is not possible deforming elastically and continuously one into the other. The only way to go from splay to bend texture, with infinite boundaries conditions, is to reconstruct in the bulk the director from x direction to z direction with a total variation of 90°.
- the transition moves nearest the surface with the lower pretilt but the mechanism is always the same: initial splay, bend, when the field is on, and finally twist when the field is switched off.
- the order reconstruction can be so near to the surface to be practically indistinguishable from anchoring breaking, but is observed even in strong anchoring conditions.
- the transition is observed by a polarized light microscope.
- the director n is aligned almost along the field except for symmetry in a ⁇ -splayed thin wall in the centre, whose thickness is comparable to the electric coherence length, which connects n from z to x and back to z (Fig.3a).
- This wall is strongly biaxial. Away from the wall the nematic is uniaxial with a scalar order parameter higher than the initial one due to the aligning force of the electric field.
- 5CB is a good model system since most of its material properties are well known and can be used in the numerical calculations increasing the accuracy.
- the cell is made of two conductive ITO glass plates.
- the strong oblique symmetrical anchorings are produced by unidirectional rubbing of a polymer LQl 800 (from Hitachi), previously spin coated and oven dried, following a standard procedure [14]. A thick film gives strong anchoring. For this reason we used for the spin coating procedure a 20% in weight solution of LQ 1800 in l-methyl-2-pyrolidinone. Lower concentrations give thinner, less homogeneous films and lower anchoring energy.
- the two unidirectional rubbings are assembled parallel to obtain the right geometry of Fig.2a.
- the birefringence measured at room temperature is typical of a quasi planar texture, as expected.
- the cell is connected to a pulse generator which can vary independently pulse amplitude V and width ⁇ .
- the pulse is sent manually to the cell.
- Textural changes are checked using a polarized microscope at a controlled angle with respect to the surface alignment direction.
- thermotropic calamitic nematic material is generally composed of elongated molecules with axial ratio in the order of 4 [8] (the axial ratio is defined as the length of the molecule divided by the diameter), in the next we are going to call biaxial all molecules with axial ratio less than 4 and greater than 1.
- Discotic molecules i.e. molecular material which presents discotic phases, are a particular case of biaxial molecules.
- Tc time to mix the 5CB with any dopants.
- the Tc of the mixture is down shifted. If it has higher Tc nematic phase, we observe an up shift. In practice we will take advantage of this property to increase or to decrease the temperature range of the mixture as a function of the desired reduced threshold. The Tc shift gives an up or down shift of the threshold, which is not related to the intrinsic biaxiality, since the reconstruction depends only on the relative temperature Tc-T. We then present our temperature dependent data versus the reduced temperature Tc-T.
- a well known molecule which is expected to align well in 5CB is MBBA, which presents a nematic phase at room temperature.
- the nematic phase is uniaxial.
- the enhancement of the biaxiality of the mixture inside the thin ⁇ -splayed wall before the BORN is in first approximation due to the fact that the 5CB molecules tend to be aligned along the electric field and the MBBA molecules tend to be aligned perpendicular to the electric field. In this case the nematic order is strongly decreases (without vanishing) due to the strong applied frustration.
- the negative ⁇ S MBBA should increase the MBBA concentration in the ⁇ -splayed wall, independently from the biaxiality.
- the decrease of E x ⁇ is due to the fact that this mixture tends to assume biaxial configurations easier than the pure 5CB.
- the Eth threshold decreases in average about 5%. This means that, if we use the values presented in the paragraph 1.2.2, the parameter b varies from 1.610 6 N/m 2 to 1.010 6 N/m 2 .
- the monomer RM257 has negative dielectric anisotropy ⁇ ⁇ -2 and presents a stable nematic phase in the range of temperature 70-126 0 C. This dopant was dissolved in the 5CB in the proportion of 2% .
- the oligomer has also another important property: by mixing a usual large molecular mass polymer with a nematic one, the order parameter usually decreases due to the entropy effect of the rigid oligomer chains. At large concentration, the large molecular mass polymer induces the isotropic melting of the nematic.
- E, h is reduced further compared to the previous case. Comparing the case of 5CB+monomer with the case of 5CB+oligomer (monomer exposed to UV), we notice that the reduction of E t ⁇ , depends on the UV exposure time. The optimum UV exposure time should correspond to the building of oligomers of good length to optimize the biaxial order reconstruction.
- the first dopant that we have used is a molecule having an H shape, (Cg 4 H 9S OnN 4 Pt 2 Cl 2 ), where its graphical structure is represented in Fig.9. It is metallo-organic complex of palatine which is discotic with high molecular biaxiality.
- the dopant was added in low percentage (lower than 5%) showing the same positive effect but less effective than the H-shape molecule.
- the AZPAC has a small negative dielectric anisotropy, which reduces the dielectric anisotropy of the mixture with respect to the pure E7, while this parameter is unknown for the PtAcAc.
- E th proportional to the concentration of the dopant, for small concentration of itself.
- Fig.12 shows further decrease of E t ), of the mixture with respect to pure E7, after the mixture was exposed to UV to make oligomers similar to those already described in paragraph 4.5. In this case also we observe the effect of the conformational biaxialty due to the oligomers. Similar results are obtained even for other concentrations c achieved if the mixtures are exposed to the UV.
- nematic materials which can achieve biaxial order reconstruction for electric fields weak enough to be compatible with the standard techniques used in liquid crystal display technology.
- the main proposed application concerns the possibility for a nematic or a cholesteric to switch from an initial texture to a final topologically different one in order to induce an intrinsic bistability or multistability in the display pixels.
- the biaxial nematic material must possess a large biaxial coherence length ⁇ B (small values of b which depends on the third order term in the Landau-de-Gennes potential) at the room temperature, moreover viscosity and optical properties suitable for NLCD.
- ⁇ B small values of b which depends on the third order term in the Landau-de-Gennes potential
- the order reconstruction is present not only in the geometry we used for our experiments (Fig.2) but also in presence of other phenomena like, for example, the creation and destruction of defects.
- the nematic defects (as well as cholesteric ones) present in fact biaxial states in the core [11]. It is important to note that all bistable devices proposed in references 4, 5, 6 and 7 change the nematic texture by means of the creation and destruction of defects.
- the mixtures proposed in this work can cause a remarkable decrease of the electric field threshold for all bistable displays reported in references and they are not restricted to the experiments described in this patent.
- the discotic/biaxial dopants tend also to concentrate around the calamitic nematic defects, because the nematic phase order is reduced in the core of a defect, hence favouring the BORN.
- the proposed mixtures are good materials for all bistable LCD technologies where bistable or multistabile textures are connected to each other by transient phenomena as bi-dimensional biaxial walls or monodimensional defects.
